Classic<br />
Prior to 1976 loudspeaker<br />
<strong>cables</strong> had no identity.<br />
They were simply <strong>cables</strong>.<br />
2 x 0.5 mm² was the most<br />
usual size, while for high<br />
specifications, the only<br />
alternative was 2 x 0.75<br />
mm². And then there was<br />
SUPRA.<br />
It began when we introduced<br />
SUPRA 2.5 and shook<br />
up the entire market with a<br />
whole new concept. All this<br />
happened in Sweden 1976.<br />
Since then the whole world<br />
has followed us. But then<br />
the adjustable spanner, the<br />
propeller, the safety pin and<br />
Dynamite have also come<br />
from Sweden, so perhaps it<br />
is not so surprising.<br />
Since SUPRA 2.5 was introduced<br />
other original ideas<br />
have come from SUPRA.<br />
The nylon screen, the Swift<br />
connector, the stretch-proof<br />
multicore cable and the Ply<br />
conductor concept are all<br />
examples of our forward<br />
thinking technology.<br />
Useful to know<br />
about..<br />
Tin plating<br />
A <strong>Supra</strong> concept for<br />
cleaner sound.<br />
The tin is of higher<br />
resistance than copper<br />
and also protects copper<br />
from bad sounding<br />
corrosion. It also<br />
minimises the current<br />
jumps from wire to wire<br />
over corroded copper<br />
surfaces while more of<br />
the signal passes<br />
through the pure copper<br />
inside the wires. The tin<br />
layer also minimises the<br />
skin-effect, by acting as<br />
a semi-Litz.<br />
Silver plating<br />
Only when the<br />
frequencies are very<br />
high, as in digital<br />
signals, does it seem<br />
wise to go the<br />
opposite way, i.e. to<br />
silver plate for a lower<br />
surface resistance. At<br />
such high frequencies<br />
it is hard to keep the<br />
signal inside the wire,<br />
so instead we design<br />
for an easier surface<br />
current flow.<br />
Digital interlinks<br />
Important properties of<br />
digital <strong>cables</strong> are a high<br />
propagation velocity<br />
factor and and a correct<br />
and stable characteristic<br />
impedance (Z).<br />
Analogue<br />
interconnects<br />
Low capacitance (C)<br />
is important.<br />
Microphone- and line<br />
<strong>cables</strong><br />
Low microphonic<br />
effect, and low<br />
capacitance assist<br />
quality.<br />
Loudspeaker <strong>cables</strong><br />
Loudspeaker <strong>cables</strong><br />
generally need to be<br />
of low inductance (L)<br />
and prefereably also<br />
of low resistance (R).

Classic Loudspeaker Cables<br />
Hi-Fi<br />
The Classic series comprises highly flexible<br />
<strong>cables</strong> of tin plated multistranded OFC<br />
copper of purity degree 5N, which means<br />
>99.999% pure, i.e. purer than five nines.<br />
The insulation of special ion stable PVC<br />
minimises corrosion of the sonically benign<br />
tin surface.<br />
This series covers all Hi-Fi applications<br />
from low power speakers, such as rear<br />
speakers of home theatre systems, to high<br />
power systems with long cable lengths.<br />
How to connect Quattro 4x4 for lowest inductance<br />
Connecting Quattro as shown in the figure below will<br />
make a lower inductance of 0.37 mH/m, which in turn<br />
makes Quattro a top class high-end loudspeaker cable.<br />

Conductor<br />
Before considering more special ’esoteric’<br />
2nd and 3rd-order effects, such as<br />
conductor metallurgy, the performance of<br />
a<strong>udio</strong> <strong>cables</strong> is principally determined by their<br />
series loop resistance (R), their series loop<br />
inductance (L) and their shunt capacitance<br />
(C). Both the absolute and the relative values<br />
of R, L & C matter. For speaker <strong>cables</strong><br />
connecting high performance amplifiers to<br />
every day electrodynamic (moving coil or<br />
ribbon) speaker drive-units that are desired<br />
to operate with fidelity across the a<strong>udio</strong><br />
band, the R & L (cable resistance &<br />
inductance) must both be low, while the<br />
value of C (capacitance) does not matter<br />
much [1,2]. This is so because current flow<br />
into conventional speaker drive-units is<br />
relatively so much larger than in line-level<br />
connections, and also absolutely large,<br />
ranging to over 100 Amperes in some<br />
instances. This is especially true of auto (12<br />
volt) installations. But simply using a fat wire<br />
gauge makes R low at the expense of<br />
increasing L. This is musically unacceptable<br />
for high sonic quality.<br />
’Squaring the circle’ techniques to make this<br />
loop inductance, L, low, simultaneous with<br />
low resistance, include tapes, either stacked<br />
in parallel pairs, or several arranged side-byside<br />
in ribbons, where the ends are X-<br />
connected. But of course, these types are (i)<br />
impractical to fit to nearly every known<br />
speaker connector (at least without<br />
introducing discontinuities), (ii) are stressed<br />

and may be unsightly when right angle<br />
surface bends are required in domestic<br />
installation, and (iii) are unsuited to for<br />
mobile use by professionals. Litz<br />
techniques, i.e. multiple, parallel, insulated<br />
conductors are more practical in use and<br />
laying out, but when properly executed,<br />
they are expensive.<br />
They are also awkward to terminate and<br />
must be soldered. Other types are grossly<br />
large, like industrial pneumatic pipes, making<br />
them unsuited to smaller domestic<br />
dwellings.<br />
Conventionally, fat conductors’ high loop<br />
inductance (which raises impedance at<br />
+6dB/octave) is further raised due to<br />
internal eddy currents causing ’Skin effect’.<br />
This acts like ’the square root of an<br />
inductor’, i.e. progressively adds a +3dB/<br />
octave component to the cable’s series<br />
inductance. With typical speaker cable runs<br />
of a few metres, the combined inductive<br />
effect is that performance in moderately<br />
heavy, plain conductors is measurably<br />
affected with steady signals at or a little<br />
above 1kHz. Whereas for music transients,<br />
even low bass qualities are affected.<br />
Conventional stranded <strong>cables</strong> with copper,<br />
silver or related conductors suffer from<br />
complex oxidation. The surface becomes a<br />
semiconductor. The diodes so formed<br />
between the strands are not seen by<br />
steady-state signals, but look like the plates<br />
of a high value capacitor to transient<br />

signals. This causes low-level energy<br />
storage and release after transients, that is<br />
invisible to steady state testing yet nonetheless<br />
perfectly audible with many music<br />
recordings. This ’transversal distortion’ may<br />
also be described in terms of the TEM<br />
(Transverse Electro-Magnetic) Wave,<br />
which takes a direct route, whereas<br />
electron flow is ’trapped’ inside individual,<br />
particular strands that are commonly<br />
twisted away from the most direct route, at<br />
each of the inevitable bends in a stranded<br />
cable, when laid-out.<br />
<strong>Supra</strong> Ply is able to be a large-section, low<br />
resistance cable, while also overcoming<br />
skin effect and transversal distortion, by<br />
using a proprietary, pure tin plating. This<br />
has the double benefit that tin and copper<br />
meld without forming a diodic barrier (as<br />
with many silver-plated copper ’a<strong>udio</strong>grade’<br />
conductors) and that tin strongly resists<br />
most common causes of metal corrosion,<br />
and hermetically protects the copper,<br />
making <strong>Supra</strong> Ply ideal for outdoor use.<br />
By contrast, most a<strong>udio</strong>grade <strong>cables</strong><br />
claiming highly pure copper or silver<br />
conductors are either wholly unprotected<br />
from contamination, initially by the outgassing<br />
of the plastic covering (even if<br />
PTFE/Teflon), and eventually from the<br />
impure atmosphere - and even from<br />
accidental immersion in liquids! Some very<br />
expensive <strong>cables</strong> are protected only by a<br />
very thin, initially good lacquer, that must

Even if oxidation should form on the outside<br />
of <strong>Supra</strong> Ply, it will be sonically benign, as in<br />
a<strong>udio</strong>grade ’metal oxide’ resistors - which<br />
are really tin oxide.<br />
Other Advantages<br />
For wiring-up, <strong>Supra</strong> Ply is easily formed.<br />
Unlike ribbons, tapes and Litzes, the<br />
rectangular conductor section is instantly<br />
made circular, for insertion into the circularshaped<br />
receptacles of binding posts, 4mm<br />
(’banana’), Speakon, XLR and most other<br />
speaker connectors.<br />
<strong>Supra</strong> Ply’s overall square X-section allows<br />
it to readily enter most connector housings,<br />
too.<br />
<strong>Supra</strong> Ply is also readily coiled up, like<br />
ordinary, inferior-sounding ’mains power<br />
type’ speaker <strong>cables</strong>. It is therefore easy<br />
for professionals to use. Sound producers<br />
can easily take <strong>Supra</strong> Ply to the mixing<br />
venue along with their favourite minimonitor<br />
speakers.<br />
Demonstrating the Difference<br />
Unlike some a<strong>udio</strong>grade products, the<br />
benefits of <strong>Supra</strong> Ply (and other <strong>cables</strong><br />
employing similarly logically progressive<br />
philosophies) are readily shown by<br />
comparative and repeatable measurements.<br />
These differences may be portrayed in a<br />
number of realms.<br />
Fig.1, in the swept frequency domain<br />
Fig.3 Typical wide-spaced type of cable<br />
shows progressively increasing losses<br />
above 1kHz for all <strong>cables</strong>, caused by<br />
inductance + skin effect - ranging up to<br />
10dB at 20kHz or so, where ultrasonic<br />
sound from vinyl discs in particular, can<br />
simulate pleasure centres in the brain [3].<br />
Here, <strong>Supra</strong> Ply’s healthy, low-loss<br />
behaviour at the higher a<strong>udio</strong> frequencies<br />
(and, by implication, the transient parts of<br />
lower frequency music fundamentals) is<br />
made evident with a basic ’steady-state’<br />
sine-wave sweep.<br />
Fig.2 & 3 are ’scope pictures, in the steadystate<br />
time domain. They show typical<br />
damping (dynamic) differences, using a<br />
classic square wave. After a transient<br />
event, <strong>Supra</strong> Ply both restrains the peaking<br />
and accelerates the return of the signal<br />
voltage to zero volts, at the speaker end of<br />
the line. The peaking of the wide-spaced<br />
cable demonstrates both bad damping, and<br />
hf loss. These effects occur because<br />
spaced cable has high inductance and low<br />
capacitance - the diametric opposite of<br />
what is required to drive ordinary<br />
loudspeakers.<br />

Minimising of interference fields is also<br />
important in other fixed installations.<br />

Accessories for bi-wiring<br />
Bi-wiring is a separation of the music signal current into two<br />
<strong>cables</strong>; one for the higher and one for the lower frequency<br />
range, e.g. one for bass and one for the midrange/tweeter.<br />
Bi-wiring makes an audible enhancement. The best<br />
combination is a pair of Ply 3.4 or 3.4/S.<br />
In order to make it work the loudspeakers should prefererably<br />
be equipped with separate inputs to the crossover<br />
networks. If not, then you could move out the crossover<br />
network from the loudspeaker boxes and put it close to the<br />
amplifier. It should then be easy to make a bi-wired<br />
connection from the crossover to the loudspeaker<br />
components.<br />
Nylon braid ’hose’ is available for sleeving over the <strong>cables</strong> to<br />
gather them into a single bi-wire cable pair.<br />
You do it like this:<br />
The braid sleeve widens when it is pushed together<br />
longitudinally, which makes it very easy to push the cable<br />
pair into it. The braid sleeeve is supposed to be somewhat<br />
shorter than the cable pair to leave a margin to be stretched<br />
afterwards in order to tighten against the cable pair.<br />
A heat shrink at each end fixes the stretched braid sleeve<br />
and completes the work.<br />
Please be aware: A very tense stretching makes a neat<br />
result, but also a less flexible cable.<br />

EFF-I Interconnect Cable<br />
Analogue/Digital 75 Ohm<br />
The dynamic influence of the skin effect is of great sonic<br />
influence as the music/video signals are nothing but<br />
variations. By means of the Equalized Frequency Flow<br />
technique (EFF) <strong>Supra</strong> takes skin effect into account. The<br />
EFF-I cable consists of two tube-shaped conductors with a<br />
wall thickness of 0.20 mm which is well below the smallest<br />
skin depth within the a<strong>udio</strong> range. This makes all<br />
frequencies operate under the same conditions.<br />

DAC Digital & Analogue<br />
Interconnect Cable, AES/EBU<br />
Harmonised<br />
A fast interconnect of extremely low capacitance. In accordance<br />
with our design concepts the inductance is to be low<br />
for a loudspaker cable whereas for an interconnect the<br />
capacitance is to be low. <strong>Supra</strong> DAC is insulated with PE<br />
foam skin which exhibits only 45 pF/m. It is screened with<br />
our very efficient and strong semiconductive nylon ribbon.<br />
<strong>Supra</strong> DAC is also designed for digital a<strong>udio</strong> and is<br />
harmonised with the AES/EBU standard. (Square wave 60<br />
MHz, impedance 110 Ohms, balanced.)<br />
The very high frequency properties of <strong>Supra</strong> DAC are<br />
outstandingly good, owing to its high velocity factor. More<br />
clean transients and thus improved space dimension<br />
comes with the high velocity.<br />
The velocity factor of <strong>Supra</strong> DAC is as high as 78% of the<br />
speed of light, owing to the low dielectricity of the gas blown<br />
foam skin insulation. With PTFE/Teflon it would have been<br />
only 71%.<br />
The velocity factor can be calculated with the simplified<br />
formula:<br />
n = Ö1/K<br />
where K is the dielectricity factor of the insulation material.<br />

ZAC Fibre Optic Interconnect<br />
ZAC stands for Zero Attenuation Concept.<br />
The innovative curving of the fibre core tip to get a zero<br />
divergence loss enables plastic fibre optic to be used, and<br />
achieve the same transmission quality as that of a glass<br />
fibre core. Thus, we combine the strength and flexibitlity of<br />
the plastic fibre with a high-end Hi-Fi transmission.<br />
Properies and advantages of the fibre optic cable are:<br />
• Mechanically strong<br />
• Low weight<br />
• Wide band width<br />
• Interference immune.<br />
• No radiation<br />
• Non-conductive; Independent of voltage potentials.<br />
Basic principals:<br />
At the transmitting side a light source is used, either a LED<br />
or a laser. The light is passed into the optic fibre and at the<br />
receiving end the light is detected by a photo-diode.<br />
By means of turning the light on and off, a digital<br />
communication is created.<br />
ZAC is availble in lengths of 1m(3ft), 2m(6ft), 5m(16ft) and<br />
10m(33ft).<br />

Digital Interconnects<br />
General:<br />
Always, in digital applications, the choice of a cable of correct<br />
characteristic impedance is very important. There are two<br />
standard impedances:<br />
• 75 Ohm S/PDIF interface which uses RCA connectors.<br />
This is most common in Hi-Fi applications from CD<br />
transport to DAC, as well as home recording.<br />
• 110 Ohm AES/EBU interface which is balanced and<br />
has XLR connectors. This is mostly used in<br />
professional applications.<br />
75 Ohm Interconnects: Trico-ID and EFF-ID<br />
The 75 Ohm digital interconnects are desinged for RCA<br />
(Phono connectors) interfaced transmission between CD<br />
transport and digital to analogue converter. They have the<br />
capability to transfer the full digital spectrum and can be<br />
used with a number of 75 Ohm applications.<br />
110 Ohm AES/EBU Interconnect: DAC-XLR<br />
DAC-XLR is a balanced interconnect for digital transfer,<br />
mostly in professional equipment. DAC stands for Digital &<br />
Analogue Cable, not to be mixed up with DAC converters.<br />

Trico Digital Video/Composite Cable 75 Ohms<br />
Trico is an interconnect cable of very low capacitance, insulated<br />
with PE foam which makes only 58 pF/m and makes the<br />
propagation velocity to 78% of the speed of light.<br />
Trico is double shielded with a braided inner screen of silver<br />
plated OFC copper and an outer of bare OFC copper. The<br />
screens provide efficient noise protection. The centre wires are<br />
made of silver plated OFC copper. The silver plating of the<br />
conductor/screen enhances the high frequency properties of<br />
the cable.<br />
The high technology design of Trico makes an extremely low<br />
attenuation: 0.6dB/100m at 1MHz and 7.1dB/100m at 100MHz.<br />
True 75 Ohms: The characteristic impedance is very stable: +/-<br />
1.5 Ohms up to 100MHz.<br />

Trico Video Interlinks<br />
The Trico interlinks are semi-balanced for<br />
efficient noise rejection. Trico is double<br />
screened and the outer screen is<br />
connected to earth at only one end of the<br />
cable, so there is no signal through that<br />
screen, but it serves only as a screen.<br />
Trico is applicable for video signal<br />
transference in almost all video equipment,<br />
as today’s projectors, DVD players, video<br />
processors, etc are all equipped with<br />
composite inputs/outputs. It suits both<br />
analogue and digital video transmission.<br />

The cores are used for:<br />
• Right front<br />
• Left front<br />
• Center<br />
• Sub woofer<br />
• Right surround<br />

Connection Configurations<br />
For those of you who prefer to make your own<br />
interlinks or carry out service we have<br />
gathered this connection configuration tables.<br />
Please be aware of the importance of the<br />
soldering quality. All <strong>Supra</strong> interlinks are soldered<br />
with led-free silver tin with non-corrosive<br />
flux.<br />
Poor solderings are mostly due to either too<br />
high or too low temperature.<br />
The flux is needed to get through the oxide<br />
and avoid a dry joint without using overheating.<br />
A dry joint might work very well for a period of<br />
time but as the oxide will grow between the tin<br />
and the object there will eventually be a poor<br />

conductor area is 2.5 sqmm and the conductors are twisted<br />
for low inductance. Rondo is available in two versions: a pair<br />
cable and a 4-conductor cable. The wires are tin plated in<br />
order to stand outdoor use and prevent corrosion. The tin<br />
plating also minimises the current jumps from strand to<br />
strand and makes less distortion. (See page 2 about tin<br />
plating.)<br />

Microphone and Line Cables<br />
Pro<br />
<strong>Supra</strong>’s unique screen concept makes pro-tech products<br />
that are feasable for military use as well as for industry or<br />
stage use. The screen is made of semiconductive Nylon,<br />
a very strong and flexible wrapping that so far has only<br />
been used around very high voltage power station <strong>cables</strong>,<br />
for field equalizing.<br />
The advantages of <strong>Supra</strong> nylon screened <strong>cables</strong> over<br />
ordinary braided <strong>cables</strong> are:<br />
• Mechanically stronger<br />
The nylon screen, with its tensile strength of 500 N/50mm,<br />
is many times stronger than ordinary screens, also with<br />
respect to bending fatigue.<br />
• Enviromental and climate immunity<br />
Humidity does not influence the cable’s electrical<br />
properties.<br />
• Noise rejection<br />
Besides the extremely good shielding properties of the<br />
semiconductive screen, the cores are symmetrically<br />
twisted to avoid the magnetic pickup. Tests under very<br />
severe conditions have been carried out and whereas no<br />
ordinary cable has been free from noise pickups, <strong>Supra</strong><br />
MBS has still been quiet.<br />
<strong>Car</strong>ry out your own test: Tape a nylon-screened <strong>Supra</strong><br />
cable along the mains flex of a thyristor controlled device,<br />
for example, a drilling machine. Connect the <strong>Supra</strong> cable<br />
to a pre-amplifier, run the machine and listen to the<br />
crosstalk noise. Do the same with other <strong>cables</strong>. Compare!<br />

Stage Multi<br />
Multicore Cables for Stage Use,<br />
Pair Jacketed and Stretch-Proof<br />
<strong>Supra</strong> has developed a flexible multi-core cable for use on<br />
stage and in heavy and rough handling situations. Every<br />
pair is individually jacketed and is a complete cable. Just<br />
simply solder on a contact - you don’t even need to use<br />
heat-shrink. Perfect when you need to make up a line to a<br />
stage box. The screen is of semiconductive nylon which is<br />
extremely strong with regard to bend-fatigue and which at<br />
the same time is highly resistant to electro-magnetic<br />
interference. A usual problem with multi-core <strong>cables</strong><br />
which are used on stage and in other non-permanent<br />
applications, is that the pairs in the middle of the<br />
multicable have less stretch tolerance than the outer<br />
layers, owing to the spiralized configuration of the cable.<br />
Consequently the inner <strong>cables</strong> are often stretched so<br />
much that the solder joints give way or the conductors<br />
break when forced to take the whole strain. <strong>Supra</strong> have<br />
solved this through increasing spiralization of the pairs<br />
towards the centre, plus the omission of a pair at the<br />
exact centre, this being replaced with a flexible plastic<br />
core.<br />
The pairs are identified with jacket colours as well as with<br />
numbers. See identification chart below.<br />

Swift XLR Connectors<br />
Patented by Tommy Jenving. Swift has several advantages<br />
over other XLR connectors.<br />
• Totally shielded. No electromagnetic leakage.<br />
• No loseable screws. Only one retained screw.<br />
• Nothing to slip on the cable before soldering.<br />
• Strain relief: The screw serves also as a clamp screw<br />
and since it is placed at a considerable distance from the<br />
apperture there will be no bending forces on the cable at<br />
the clamping point.<br />
